Describe a positive DNase test?
A positive DNase test indicates the presence of DNase enzyme, which degrades DNA molecules. This is detected by a clear zone around the bacterial growth on DNase agar plate after adding a DNase indicator dye. The clear zone indicates that DNA in the medium has been hydrolyzed, suggesting the bacteria has the ability to produce DNase enzyme.
What is the reagent used to test Dnase test?
There are no reagents added when a Dnase test is performed. The test is done in a methyl green medium with a pure inoculum culture. If halos form around the culture than Dnase is present.
Does DNase affect RNA?
Yes, DNase can affect RNA because it specifically targets and degrades DNA molecules. If RNA is contaminated with DNA, DNase treatment can help remove the DNA, but it will not affect the RNA molecules themselves.
Role of EDTA in DNA isolation?
it is chealeting agent and has great affinity with metal ions and mg- ions present in dnase as a cofactor and responsible for dnase action that degreded DNA hear edta bide with mg- ions and stop the action of dnase.
What enzyme is responsible for deplolymerization for DNA?
DNase I: deoxyribonuclease
